Thanks.

LOL coming to think of it I'm in too.

I think every serious web developer will ask him/herself this question one time.
well its best to understand why we ask ourselves this question.

I'll focus on two points that I think are the root cause:

1) Tired of working on projects without getting paid what you really deserve since
the QUACKS have saturated the market and diluted the PRICES.

2) Working on a project without knowing when the next project will come, and for
you to get one you need to compromise on the PRICE so that the quacks don't beat
you cause all they compete on is the PRICE.

Well after thinking about this it dawned on me that I can't change the market and if
I need to do what I love to do and still pay my bills I need to change my mindset
and how I play in this game (web development).

So what did I do,
I picked a couple of the so called quacks in my location trained them well and
employed them. (If you can't beat them join them or at least let them join you)

This way I can concentrate on building my business by looking for more clients
since I now have more time on my hands and fewer quacks to compete with.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY
Have a plan to transition from a WEB DEVELOPER into a BUSINESS OWNER that owns
a web development Company. At least this has worked well for me.

I tried phoca gallery but i cannot disable/remove the powered by link (then what is the essence of it being free).If you can help out with that let me know.

There is no free lunch after all. Get the extension for "free" and in turn advertise them for "free".

Just to add to what noibilism you can also download the kickstart module for akeeba from their which will allow you to unpack the .jpa file (the compressed version of your site) to your server.

jjjkkkooo:

Pls i need a good joomla form builder

I think one of the best has to be RSForms Pro i use it in most of my projects.

Haha! looks like a stunt to get more views! Good luck on that

jjjkkkooo:

i used to use these mail services b4 i started using joomla, pls does any one know how to configure them with joomla 1.5?

If by configuring them with joomla. you mean being able to read emails right from your joomla website then try out this extension OSE Joomla! Webmail Client . Here is the website link

http://www.opensource-excellence.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_new.tpl&product_id=3&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=14&vmcchk=1&Itemid=14

I personally use it with roundcube haven't tested it with horde or squirrel mail.

You just pay  £34.99 and you can use it forever on as many sites as you want.
If you like it anyway i could share my copy with you.

Donpuzo:

@Infinity, Thanks, have gotten it, appreciate it!

U r welcome! Don

Its not about the money for me, its the passion.

That is what all BROKE people use as an EXCUSE!

Dual Core:

Omni sorry o  You know I am a very quiet person 

AND BROKE TOO!

quadrillio:

LWKMD, even d CMS you don't know how to use it like most of us. (PERMIT ME TO BRAG). if you want to prove me wrong tell me a plugin/module you ve developed for yourself to solve a problem. until then, STAY TUNED.

-SAFE

I don't need to develop any! they are readily available, all i have to do is pick one install and use it to make money!

Albato:

I never cease to find this forum very amusing. In the middle of a serious discussion there must be one comedian to make me laugh out loud. Actually, using a CMS does not make you lazy. You do need to know how to customise it a bit to make your site look different though. I have always spoken against those lazy joomla users who use freely available template without caring to make it look different a bit. That is the one of the major downside os using a cms.

Infact most web designers these days dont waste time re-inventing the wheel. A lot many big sites run on cms like typepad, drupal, wordpress, joomla etc. You may not know it. Even our dear NL runs on a ready made cms called smf

Some of the downsides to using "manufactured" code or CMS include
- your site looks like everyone else's (if u cant code enought to customise it). This is no issue if you can code a little.
- Hackers can understand the inner working of your site because your source code is openly available. This is very unlikely unless you are running a "non" approved version of the cms. Always install the tested and approved version. Install all security updates.
- add yours

On the other hand, the advantages of using cms is uncountable.
- easily launch sites in minutes.
- save your brain cells.
- access to well tested and secure codes
- these cms websites have forums where you can rub mind with gurus and get answer to any questions
- continually improving codes
- add yours

Albato AMEN to that! Couldn't put it better!

Put the absolute URL for your image path e.g.

//$mail->AddAttachment("http://www.yourdomain.com/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg"


<img src=', http://www.yourdomain.com/img/jpy/nddclogo.jpg'/>

That should work!

You either join us or remain broke for the rest of your life!

quadrillio:

@inf8nity,I can tell you that they are many problems CMSes cannot solve. If I may ask where do you run to in such situation since you can't code.

and don't tell me to mention them cos I'll write a text book of it.

until I see a CMS that solve all web application problem then I can give up my web skills. UNTIL THEN , STAY TUNED.

Name the situation and i will show you several extensions to use for that situation! After all you are not the first to be in that situation and won't be the last, my point is before u got into that situation millions of others before you were in the same situation and thus came up with an extension for that situation. So why start solving the problem form scratch while you can pick up where others left and thus save time and money?

Thanks for the help, you can get back to work now. You are the one who wants to do a LOT in very little time.

Using CMSs make me have even more time in my hands to help others out of self-slavery

Well Dual EGO, It was a pleasure showing u how the rest of the world thinks even though u said it could be wrong! Let me check my bank account

Dual Core:

When I build something and people ask if I did it from scratch, depending on my mood I either vex and tell them to search the whole of google for any plugin or CMS that has done it or I am happy and give 'em a resounding yes also politely explaining that my codes as of this moment are still very closed source and I may not be able to attach and mail them but I can tell them my logic.

No one ASKS! Again get OVER URSELF n put ur EGO in check! Looks like u r doin this so that someone asks huh?

Dual Core:

As for clients not having to know the tech behind a job, last thing on my mind in choosing how to work is the client, first thing of my mind is me.

Once you change this mindset you will stop being broke!

Dual Core:

I will say this again, use what you want as long as it gets your job done.
Make we no fight over CMS or noCMS this morning, I am wasting your precious time.

Its no fight at all just helpin you understand how to make more money efficiently. 

@Dual Core

If you wonno use CMS, fine go on. . . rest assured I will be here to help out (the best way I can) with handwritten codes when the CMS going gets tough, if it ever gets tough.

FYI there are millions of developers behind the CMSs and lots of documentation so get over URSELF! Continue hand writing and stroke ur ego that u can hand code while we use CMS n make huge bucks coz we complete work in a flash! Meaning we can do more websites within a short time Remember the client won't care whether u hand coded or u used CMS as long as it WORKS! There is nothing as good as extensions for CMS which have been tested over and over worldwide by millions of developers. Keep living in ur "handwritten code" island.

No wonder u r still Broke

dmark4real:

I have a site for news generally but i want a software to edit the content any time without puttin the content into html or php page eah time.

Does anybody no what i cud use? pls

If i'm not mistaken dmark4real asked for a software not how to build one. And a CMS is surely a software with all respect.

ogzille:


Exposure to all these CMSes at an early stage does more harm to a 'learning mind'

Why re-invent the wheel if it already exists? Instead pick it up and move on. After all we all want to do more for less time. The earlier you get into the wagon, the earlier u will get to your next stop. So do urself some favor learn one of the CMSs and you will save urself more time in furure. I'm sure there is a reason for the growing number of people using them day by day. C'mon millions of people can't be wrong can they?

Why don't learn how to use one of these open source CMS (Content Management System):

-Joomla
-Drupal
-Wordpress

Each one of them has a variety of news site extensions which will really help you out. I mean editing html or php every now and then for new content is so 1999.

@Larion

Just enter one of the domains. Make sure it is a running site with content. The website will then be reviewed by someone from Google Adsense. Once you have been accepted to the adsense network you will receive an email and you can now add the adsense code to any of your sites without need for validation. But they must stick to Adsense terms and conditions.

Okay im guessing you want to send emails to ur leads that will later convert to some sales! If that is the case forget about the tools as this will get ur IP banned completely or if u are using a php or asp script, ur hosting a/c will be shut down sooner or later. Another disadvantage with using these tools is that the emails will always end up in the junk mail and never be opened by 90% of the people.

SOLUTION: Invest on Email marketing providers such as http://www.aweber.com/ and http://www.getresponse.com/ you will need some investment but as i said i'm hopin u r doin this for sales or else its a total waste of time. Using these guys will ensure that ur email will 99% of the time end up in your leads inbox thus getting read. Since emails coming from their IPS are normally not considered as SPAM.

Hello guys

Interesting post. Here are my thoughts on this one. IE6 is Sooo deprecated considering it was released in late 2001. C'mon we r now in 2010.  Surely a lot has changed in the web design and development world over the 9 years or so.

Personally i think you don't need to waste time preparing a different CSS for IE6 unless that client is really going to pay huge bucks for that. So my approach is explain to the client that u aren't developing website 's for IE6 as it is outdated and you can also throw in that security risk that was discovered last year. Always works for me.

However put some sort of a pop up (html and css)  that displays when someone visits the site using IE6 urging him/her to upgrade to one of the latest browsers. Attached is the image of the the pop up that appears on the top of the page. I will upload the code and files if anyone needs them.
